CASEMENT HINGE.

Application filed September 21, 1925. Serial No. 57,623.

The present invention relates to a casement, and aims to provide aweather proof structure wherein the easement is mounted for the usualswinging movement, and also has a vertical movement which allows the useof a weather proof flange rising from the sill at the interior thereof.

Another object of the invention is to provide a casement of this naturemounted for swinging movement in a sill wherein simple and efficientmeans is provided for allowing vertical movement of the casement, saidmeans being exceedingly simple in its construction, and thoroughlyreliable and eflicient in its operation.

"With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as thedescription proceeds, theinvention resides in certain novel features ofconstruction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will behereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawing Figure 1 is a sectional view through a window frame,showing my casement raised,

Figure 2 is a similar view showing the casementlowered,

Figure 3 is a detail perspective of one hinge leaf, and

Figure & is a other hinge leaf. 7

Referring to the drawing in detail, it will be seen that 5 designates awindowframe including the usual sill 6. A riser or flange 7, is providedat the inner edge of the sill. A strip 8 extends under the top of theframe and has molding 9 at its inner edge. The casement is indicated bythe numeral 10,

detail perspective of the and has molding 11 at its upper edge forabutting the inner edge of the top of the frame when either raised orlowered.

The hinges used for mounting the casement in the frame may be of anydesired structure. A preferred form, however, of the hinges is shown inFigures 3 and 1-. The leaf plate 12 is attached to the frame and isprovided with an extension 13 terminating in a sleeve 14 in which isfixed a pintle 15. This pintle 15 extends parallel. with the edge of theplate 12 in spaced relation thereto. A lug 16 projects from anintermediate portion of the pintle. The distance between the lugand thesleeve 14 is little greater than the distance between the bottom of thecasement, and the sill 6 when said casement is in the raised position asshown in Figure 1. The plate 18 of the other leaf is fixed to theeasement, and has an extension 19 terminating in a split sleeve 20, forreceiving. the pintle 15 and lug 16. The split sleeve 20 provides theslot 21 which receives the lug 16 when the sleeve 20 rests on the sleeve14 as shown in Figure 2. When the casement is raised, however, the lugis free of the slot, and thus the easement may be swung to an openposition. The casement is adapted to swing inwardly of the frame. Thelug and slot features of the hinge pre-' vent the opening of thecasement until it is fully raised to the position shown in Figure 1. henthe easement is in the position shown in Figure 2 it will be seen that afairly efficient weather proof structure is provided because of theriser 7, molding 9, and molding 11.

It is thought that the construction, operation, utility, and advantagesof my invention will .be clearlyv understood without a more detaileddescription thereof.

The present embodiment of the invention has been disclosed in detailmerely by way of example since in actual practice it attains thefeatures of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of the.in vention and the above description. It is apparent that numerouschanges may be resorted to in the details of construction and in thecombination and arrangement of parts without departing from the spiritor scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed, and withoutsacrificing anyof its advantages.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new is 1. In astructure of the class described, a window frame, a casement, hinges formounting the easement in the window, each hinge including a pair ofleaves, one leaf having a pintle provided with a lug inter mediate itsends, the other leaf provided with a split sleeve for receiving thepintle and the lug, said split sleeve being of less length than thepintle and of greater length than the distance between the lug and thebottom of the pintle.

2. As a new article of manufacture, a hinge for a casement structure ofthe class described including a pair of leaves, one

leaf including a plate, an extension on one edge of the plate, a sleeveon said extension, a pintle in said sleeve extending parallel with saidedge, and a lug projecting from an a thumb screw piercing said splitsleeve, said intermediate portion of the pintle; said other secondsleeve being less in length than the leaf including a plate, anextension formed pintle and of greater length than the dis- 10 on oneedge of the second mentioned plate, tance between the lug and the topedge of 5 a second sleeve formed on the second eX- the first sleeve. atension, said second sleeve being split to In testimony whereof I afiixmy signature.

provide a longitudinally extending slot, and FREDERICK W. YOUNG.
